Ballad for Stefan
'cause he won the bet, and apparently this is my love langauge
Author’s Note: I wrote this for my dear friend and podcast co-host Stefan Pasek! I don’t want it lost in the notes abyss.
Guess What?!?! Ginny Lynns (Remembring2Laugh) made this into an actual song. Check it out here:
Stefawn
There once was a young lad named Stefawn
No, not a “Stephen”
Like when the sun rises, Stefawn rhymes with “dawn.”
.
Did you know he’s a writer?
He pulls many all-nighters
He likes to engage and shit post
.
But he’s a real sweetheart
On top of that, he’s real smart
His writing will have you fully engrossed
.
“Iambic pentameter!”
He says all the time!
I looked this one up
‘Cause barely can I rhyme
.
“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”
Don’t worry
Just kidding
This ain’t a Shakespeare play
.
Nay! It’s a ballad for our dear Stefawn
And just like the sun
He’s as bright as the dawn
.
He fills our lives with the written word
A gift to this world
More than we deserve
.
And more than that,
He’s our true friend
Stuck with us
Until the bitter end
.
When one goes missing
We’ll find the other
That blood oath we made
It was to each other
.
This sounds way more creepy
than it really is
‘Cause at the end of the day,
We act like big kids
.
Stefawn has a passion
for writing his soul
And once he gets started,
He gets on a roll
.
He talks about Autism
and how he has been shaped
A degree in psychology
to better understand the landscape
.
He’s a poet, a storyteller,
a true and real author
Can’t wait to see
What more will he conquer
.
We’re honored he picked us
To be his co-hosts
Matthew Holvey and I brag this the most
We have such a blast with you,
our dear Stefawn
But it’s way past my bedtime
I’m starting to yawn
.
I give you this ballad
True to my word
Reading it now
Proof that it did occur.
.
Yay! It’s a ballad for our dear Stefawn
400 subs,
then more,
on and on
And maybe with some luck,
You’ll get to 600 before dawn.
Omg I loved it so much had to restack right away.
Nicely done. I thought you were Billy Shakespeare for a moment.
